Principles of Cultural Dynamics

The Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Center coordinates the participation in the network Principles of Cultural Dynamics (PCD) on behalf of the Faculty of Humanities at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The objective of the PCD network, funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), is to strengthen the transnational cooperation in humanities research between the following institutions:

Cooperation between the institutions is expressed primarily through the mobility initiative, which offers various grants for research and teaching, for graduates, post-graduates and senior staff members from the participating institutions. For the complete information about the mobility opportunities visit the PCD website.

The network’s mobility initiative is complemented by the Global Humanities Campus (GHC). The GHC gathers each year's participants of the mobility initiative for a summer school and a workshop in Berlin, while providing other students and staff members an opportunity to join and present their work. For more information on the GHC visit the program's page; a Call for Application will be published here as well.
